The Beatles Songs - My Favorite Kind Of Music

Ranked #3 in Music, #132 overall

You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one... Welcome to my lens about The Beatles songs!

There were probably many bands that created and recorded more songs that The Beatles did. But no other pop band or solo artist has ever had greater impact on the society and culture than the famous Fab Four from Liverpool, England - John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr.


Are you one of their faithful fans like I am? If yes, then this lens is for you! Enjoy - let's take the Magical Mystery Tour and bring back the memories of our favorite band. I guarantee you that we'll have a lot of fun here... Like in those old days we'll be voting again for the best Beatles songs and albums or - at least - our favorite ones. Do you remember which song you loved most to dance to on the disco parties? In my case it was "Oh! Darling", or was it "Imagine"?


Well, Imagine" was not actually a pure Beatles song. Of course, it was only a John Lennon's song, but it is one of the most popular songs by any of The Beatles boys and possibly one of the most-loved songs ever written. And it gained even more popularity recently (in 2008) thanks to the interesting cover by American Idol's young David Archuleta.

Still, in this lens I will concentrate mostly on the songs recorded by ALL of the Beatles - together as the band - and we'll be voting here only on such songs and albums.


Apple iTunes



I can't believe it but already 40 years have past since we were twisting and shouting. Ever since Al Gore (well, I mean - Tim Berners-Lee, actually...) invented the Internet, I've always wanted to have my own online version of Billboard's list of my most favorite The Beatles songs - so that all of my friends, my online visitors and I too could vote for the Fab Four's songs.

Thanks to the latest present from Seth Godin and His Squidoo All-Star Band we are able to do that by using the plexo module! Thanks, guys, for giving us the ticket to ride...

P.S. I used a number of the titles of The Beatles songs for the subheadings on this lens. As a Beatles fan, can you find them? If you do, write about in my Guestbook. Thanks a lot!

Did you do anything special to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of John Lennon's death (Dec. 8th)? Tell us about it in the Guestbook at the bottom of this lens. Thank you!

IMPORTANT UPDATE: It's very sad that some of the Beatles videos that I selected to add to this lens are "no longer available due to a copyright claim by EMI Music." I hope that this copyright dispute will be resolved soon, therefore I'm not removing the YouTube modules, at least for the time being... Sorry.

Great News!!! The Beatles Finally Appeared On iTunes

So Amazon.com Had To React...

It took sooo looong, but The Beatles have finally arrived at the Apple iTunes store ! Starting November 16, 2010, all The Beatles fans can download individual Beatles track for $1.29 each, buy an album for $12.99 to $14.99 or buy the remastered box set, which contains all the Beatles songs plus some extra material, for $149.


With a 14 album box set, 16 albums total, and the entire stream of Live at the Washington Coliseum, 1964, iTunes is bringing you complete The Beatles.


Each album comes with iTunes LP, which features lyrics, photos, and more. The Beatles Box Set includes the band's entire catalog, plus mini-documentary features on each album, and the bands' first performance in the US.


Of course, Amazon can't afford to be outbid... First, they immediately lowered the price of their Beatles box set to the same as at iTunes. And then - a few hours later - they decided to lower the price by another $20. Competition is good, isn't it? Especially for us, the music fans... Anyway, thanks to a long-overdue decision by the iTunes, The Beatles fans have now a really great deal to download The Beatles box set (see below).

The Beatles #1 Songs

This listing of the number one songs by The Beatles is based on the album "1" that was compiled by producer George Martin and the (then) three surviving members of the band. It includes 27 songs that went to number-one in the United Kingdom on the Record Retailer charts and/or the United States on the Billboard magazine charts , with the following minor exceptions. The song "For You Blue" was listed in Billboard chart compilations at #1, as a Double A-sided single with "The Long and Winding Road", but Capitol Records treated "For You Blue" as strictly a B-side and didn't promote it as an A-side. Meanwhile, "Day Tripper" was included on 1, since it charted at #1 in the UK as a double A side with "We Can Work It Out", while in the US, only "We Can Work It Out" was #1.

Why The Beatles Were The Best

  • The best-selling musical group of all time - with over one billion discs and tapes sold worldwide.
  • The most multi-platinum selling albums for any artist or musical group (thirteen in the U.S. alone).
  • Six (most) diamond-selling albums (10 million copies): Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, The Beatles, Abbey Road, The Beatles: 1962-1966, The Beatles: 1967-1970, and The Beatles 1
  • More number one albums than any other group (19 in the U.S. and 15 in the United Kingdom).
  • Spent the highest number of weeks at number one in the albums chart (174 in the UK and 132 in the U.S.).
  • The most successful first week of sales for a double album (The Beatles Anthology Volume 1, which sold 855,473 copies in the U.S. from 21 November to 28 November 1995).
  • The fastest selling CD of all time with The Beatles 1. It sold over 13 million copies in four weeks.
  • More number one singles than any other musical group (23 in Australia, 23 in The Netherlands, 22 in Canada, 21 in Norway, 20 in the U.S., and 18 in Sweden).
  • Lennon and McCartney are the most successful songwriters in history, with 32 number one singles in the U.S. for McCartney, and 26 for Lennon (23 of which were written together). Lennon was responsible for 29 Number One singles in the UK, and McCartney was responsible for 28 (25 of which were written together).
  • During the week of 4 April 1964, The Beatles held twelve positions on Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, including the top five positions, which has never been accomplished by any other artist. The songs were "Can't Buy Me Love" (Capitol Records), "Twist and Shout" (Tollie Records), "She Loves You" (Swan Records), "I Want to Hold Your Hand" (Capitol), and "Please Please Me" (Vee-Jay). The next week, 11 April 1964, the Beatles held fourteen positions on the Billboard Hot 100. Before the Beatles, the highest number of concurrent singles by one artist on the Hot 100 was nine (by Elvis Presley, 19 December 1956).
  • The only artist to have 'back-to-back-to-back' number one singles on Billboard's Hot 100 in the modern chart era: "I Want to Hold Your Hand" (Feb. 1, 1964), "She Loves You" (March 21, 1964), "Can't Buy Me Love" (Apr. 4, 1964).

The Beatles - Rock, Rock'n'roll, Pop? Oh, simply classic...

An excellent presentation of The Beatles - their history, musical evolution, influence on other musicians and popular culture in general can be found in the popular Wikipedia article - The Beatles.

This well-researched article also contains official discography, song catalogues, information on number one singles, information about the films they made and other projects (e.g., "Anthology" and "Love" - the famous Las Vegas production by Cirque du Soleil).

The best books on The Beatles are listed, as well as interesting external links - among them The Beatles' London, The Beatles line-ups, The Beatles trivia, Beatles Interview Database (enormous listing with lots of funny stuff! - not only interviews... called "the ultimate historical Beatles resource"), The Beatle Timeline - excellent resource! - and much more.

This Beatles Wikipedia site also offers links to audio resources that will certainly make happy The Beatles fans, especially the song samples.

There is much more on Wikipedia about The Beatles and their music - for instance each of their albums is thoroughly covered (e.g., "Rubber Soul"), as well as their most popular songs (e.g., "Hey Jude"). Each member of The Beatles also has his own Wikipedia page (e.g. George Harrison).

Provides plenty of interesting information related to The Beatles

Wikipedia's The Beatles article or rather a Wikipedia category is just one of many parts of The Beatles portal - a group project by the band's fans to improve information on The Beatles. Other categories are: The Beatles albums, The Beatles songs, The Beatles' children, The Beatles' wives and Apple Records.

Here is an interesting listing of The Beatles' children compiled by Wikipedia contributors:

  • Dhani Harrison (1978) - son of George Harrison and Olivia Trinidad Arias
  • Julian Lennon (1963) - son of John Lennon and Cynthia Powell
  • Sean Ono Lennon (1975) - son of John Lennon and Yoko Ono
  • John Ono Lennon II (1968) - unborn baby of John Lennon and Yoko Ono
  • children of Paul McCartney and Linda McCartney: Heather McCartney (1963; adopted by Paul, from Linda's previous marriage), Mary McCartney (1969), Stella McCartney (1971) and James Louis McCartney (1977)
  • Beatrice Milly McCartney (2003) - daughter of Paul McCartney and Heather Mills McCartney
  • children of Ringo Starr and Maureen Cox: Zak Starkey (1965), Jason Starkey (1967), and Lee Starkey (1970).

Some of them are following the footsteps of their famous and extremely talented fathers and are also successful in making music. For example, Zak Starkey is a well-respected drummer who's been playing with two famous English rock 'n' roll bands - The Who and Oasis. Stella McCartney is a famous (and rich) fashion designer and photographer.

"This soundtrack is so awesome that it defies any explanation. Most of the songs on here are so wonderful that it almost brings me to tears. The re mastering of Beatles' songs is pitch perfect. In some of them such as , I am the walrus it is hard to tell when listening if you are tripping out or just singing along. I would so highly recommend this soundtrack because it is some of the most wonderful music i have ever heard." [John Kenneth Davenport "Preacher"]
